Make a Combobox or ComboboxEx autocomplete (similar to the IE address field)

[DMac]

Pelles C forum,

Quite a while back I published an article and code for making a combobox autocomplete.  I recently updated the article and thought I posted a link here but alas I neglected to do so.

Here's a screen shot.



It can be found with accompanying article at the code project.

Win32 SDK C Autocomplete Combobox Made Easy

Hallo DMac,

I just tried your AutoCombo and found the following:

If I

1. Select 'Angela' by a klick on it in the left combo, then Angela is displayed both in the combo field and in the field labeled 'Selected'.

If I then

2. Open the left combo and move down to say Jack (without klick, enter, tab) and then move to the right and klick on the gray dialog background, then 'Angela' remains on the top but Jack is displayed in the 'selected' field.

Is this what you wanted?

Probably not, however at the time I was focusing on the self search of the comboboxes.  One of these days I'll have to rework the demo to better handle mouse events.
